    Its like watching Rome burn.

    So it turns out most of what reddit is and was was created and maintained by its unpaid users. Access to and use of it was vastly improved by third party apps and tools, the website itself was actually pretty shit.

    I hope that they’re right. It’ll be hilarious to see Reddit filled with nothing but spam, as a consequence of its own actions.

    Can you picture what will be? / So limitless and free / Desperately in need / Of some stranger’s hand / In a desperate land

    So content creators move out, bots move in, and Reddit is just going to be bots talking to each other?

      Yup.

      Wonder how long advertisers will pay to show ads to bots…

      What you’re describing is basically the Dead Internet Theory.

    It’s like that one time I hosted my own forum, forgot about it, and one day my hosting provider sent me an email saying I was way over my data quota. What a shit show that forum tuned into.
